Posting in a shoutbox on piczo?

[QwertyMonster]

Spht told me just to do:

Code Select Expand


Inet1.Execute "http://pic3.piczo.com/go/shoutbox?sb=158486&sbo=206585&shoutername=hmm&text=hmm"


That doesn't seem to be working. Anybody got ANY ideas how to post in a piczo shoutbox? I packetlogged it, but spht said that the Inet way was the easiest.

Thanks in advance!

(Warning: The SITE sucks cock.)

The source code, in the form's method is 'POST'. Therefore it sends the data to the next page opposed to sending it in the title bar (something=value) which is 'GET'.

I don't exactly know the format browser's use to send the data. Though you'll have to look it up in order to post messages in that shoutbox.

Hmm i see. I think i'll do a little more research on it, if not i'll just leave it. Thanks for all help at the moment people!

It's going to be something like:

Code Select Expand


Inet1.Execute "http://pic3.piczo.com/go/shoutbox", "POST", "sb=158486&sbo=206585&shoutername=hmm&text=hmm"

IIRC, .OpenURL is used for returning information whereas .Execute just sends it (which is much more efficient/faster).

That didn't work? :-/ And i've tried other ways and none work. Hm :/

Code Select Expand

wget http://pic3.piczo.com/go/shout --post-data="sb=444952&sbo=558902&shoutername=Me&text=Cool!"

That worked, so the string format was OK, but the target url was wrong...

You'll want to read up about the HTTP POST method and then use a socket.  The Inet control is possibly one of the worst controls ever made.

Why?

[rabbit]

You can tell it to halt (.Cancel, I think), but it actually doesn't, and if you try to use .Execute or .OpenURL while it's doing something it errors out, and if you don't handle the error, your program crashes.  A Socket is just so much easier to use for something like this.

Usually in any program if you have an error and u dont handle it, the program crashes....
